Calculate inventory, spare parts and operational savings with brite-sparks online savings calculator

The savings test demonstrates the level of annual savings you should realise through brite-sparks membership—The example looks at a typical medium sized N.American factory with MRO and spare parts inventory totalling $1,000,000 and examines the range of savings that can be accrued. A one off saving of $60,000 dollars is realised through the sales of surplus inventory. Recurring savings of $113,800 dollars annually are forecast for this facility through its use of brite-sparks pooling and online manufacturing support services. Pooling can be either through closed – single company or invited partner arrangement or open with local and regional businesses virtually pooling their inventories. Take the test yourself enter in your ROM (rough order of magnitude) estimates of inventory and downtime levels, click anywhere on the page and see the savings you should realise.
